Did you know that even in the fog and the mist that fill these late fall days,

your energy inspires and renews?

I could walk your streets with nowhere in particular to attend

for hours on end--with an umbrella, of course.

I love the way your streets collide with the Puget Sound.
If there was ever a harbor on the edge of a city that took one's breath away,
it is yours.

Give a thanks to your fishermen,

for their abundant catch is jaw-dropping,

and for the florists who introduced the cabbage flower bouquets.

I'd like to personally thank the man who owns the mini-cheesecake shop
and tell him how divine his pumpkin cheesecake.
I'd like to order one up for each day left in November!
Please tell the European bakeries whose aroma stopped me in my tracks,
to keep baking up that french goodness! Next time I visit, I'm yours!

Your antique shop was exquisite (minus the woman who walked the aisles with her arms crossed and her straight-faced glances, making me feel like a juvenile delinquent),

but you buttered me up with your kind-talking, laid-back baristas and many a warm cup of joe.

Hi! I'm a new follower to your blog and just wanted to drop in and say hey!

Seattle is the BEST! My husband and I took a road trip down the Pacific Coast a few weeks ago and our first stop was Seattle. We only spent the morning there (at Pike's Place), but oh.my.word. it was stunning! The farmer's market had "pluots" (plums/apricots), and that just about made my day. The whole city was just intellectual, beautiful and cool. It was one of our favorite stops:) So glad you captured its beauty on your fabulous blog!

Vintch! What a lovely trip down the coast you must have had. Isn't Pike's Place full of so much goodness?! Also, I want to say thanks for your sweet kind comments. It is so nice to meet you, and thanks for becoming a follower! :)

You're such a good writer. I thought (before I saw the pictures at the end) that even if you hadn't posted any pictures, I wouldn't have been that disappointed because you gave such a vision of it all! I hope to go again someday!

“You must write every single day of your life... You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads... may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.” ― Ray Bradbury
